the mid-autumn festival holiday is a good time for self-driving travel, but the high "overtime parking fee" charged for charging new energy vehicles has caused heated discussions. some car owners reported that after charging at the charging station, they were charged a "parking fee" of one yuan per minute by the operator because they did not leave after the time limit. the car owners questioned whether the fee was too expensive and whether the operator's charging standard complied with relevant regulations.

recently, ms. zhang from jinan, shandong, visited a scenic spot. after her car was charged at the charging pile in the parking lot, the operator charged her an "overtime parking fee" of one yuan per minute. ms. zhang finally paid 40.72 yuan for charging, 11.8 yuan for service, 46 yuan for parking, and 8 yuan for parking. "the purpose of the car owner charging in the scenic spot is to go there for fun. it is impossible to enter the scenic spot and then unplug the power in an hour or an hour and a half. moreover, the scenic spot cannot enter or exit again after the ticket inspection." ms. zhang mentioned that when she left, at least five charging piles were empty. in this case, the rationality of charging was not high. moreover, the charging piles were unattended, and she was dissatisfied with the mandatory charges.

speaking of charging space fees, we have to mention tesla. many tesla owners reported that the overtime occupancy fee for its charging piles was too high and there was no upper limit. one car owner said frankly that he used a super charging pile to charge, the charging fee was 60.7 yuan, and the overtime occupancy fee was 867.2 yuan, a total of more than 900 yuan. another car owner posted a bill showing that the charging and overtime occupancy fees totaled 1,706.06 yuan, of which the charging fee was only 64.46 yuan, and the overtime occupancy fee was as high as 1,641.6 yuan...

a reporter visited and found that the charging standards for "overtime parking fees" vary depending on the charging pile brands and locations. among them, tesla has the highest overtime parking fee, with two standards, generally 3.2 yuan per minute, and a maximum of 6.4 yuan per minute when there are no vacant parking spaces at the supercharging station, with no upper limit, totaling 384 yuan per hour. xiaopeng follows closely behind, with 1 yuan per minute after 30 minutes, capped at 100 yuan, and other charging stations set their own overtime parking fees.

some new energy vehicle owners said that the overtime occupancy fee is an unfair clause and is a forced charge that is very unreasonable. some car owners also believe that the overtime occupancy fee should be vigorously promoted throughout the country. without the overtime fee, some low-quality drivers will occupy the charging piles for a long time. what do you think about this?
